Notice That The Public Inspection Period Has Not Been Commenced
Under section 26 of the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014, any persons interested have a right at the audit of the accounts each year to inspect the accounting records for the financial year to which the audit relates and all books, deeds, contracts, bills, vouchers, receipts and other documents relating to those records.
Regulations 14 and 15 of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 (as amended) require that this right (and associated rights) are exercisable over a single period of 30 working days, commencing no later than 1 June 2023.
The Council has been unable to commence the public inspection period by this statutory target date due to delays in auditing previous accounts and delays in the availability of required information including reflecting the impact of the latest triannual Pension Fund Valuation and the required accounting entries.
Further notifications will be placed on the website once the 2022/23 Draft Statement of Accounts are available for public inspection, this will be as soon as reasonably practicable and the period for the exercise of public rights will commence once they have been completed.
